Formula One - Chandhok to debut at Bahrain

This is my one reason to take a break from daily routine, Google and other search engines in general.

Karun Chandhok will drive for the new Spanish-based HRT team, formerly Campos Meta.

The team has not even conducted a shakedown test of the Cosworth-powered car after narrowly winning a race just to get it ready for the Bahrain season-opener.

“Really, if we can finish the race that will be a serious achievement.” Chandhok said in a telephone interview moments after a morning workout in the gym.

With Shumi back in the game Chandhok will have someone to follow around on the race track. i.e. if can keep up.

Also, when I am not rooting for Shumi I know whom I’ll be cheering.
I really hope he does well.

Here is a video when Chandhok won the GP2. Really feels good to hear the Indian national Anthem playing in the background with an Indian standing on the podium.

Google’s Website Analysis

Googles SEO Report Card
Couple of hours back Google webmaster central blog published their SEO analysis on their own product websites.

The results are very close to my expectation. I have always wondered why is it that many of Google’s own websites miss out on some SEO elements.

You can view their Report Card below or Click here to view and download the pdf.

Like GWMs say ‘These optimizations are intended to not only help search engines understand the content of the pages better, but also to improve the users' experience when visiting the sites.’

There is lot to learn from this report card. As if clearly mentions most of the aspects Google considers while displaying a website in its SERPs (Search engine result pages)
